CGM lines do not scale

[Fred Staal]

My thanks to those responding.
The solution is to install an older version of the filter files that FrameMaker uses for importing .cgm graphics (isoconverter.dll and optcgm.prf ). The version supplied with FM8 is v 6.1.06; I installed v 6.1.01. About half a dozen versions can be downloaded from the PTC web site (ptc.com/products/arbortext/cgm-filters.htm), which is also FrameMaker's source for the cgm filter).

Thanks,
Fred

Subject: CGM lines do not scale

We have just started producing .cgm graphics with the 3Dvia program. After they are imported by reference into Framemaker 8, they can be scaled, but the line widths cannot; they remain the same regardless of scaling. Is this a configuration issue with FrameMaker's CGM filter or in the program creating the CGM...or something else?

Thanks,
Fred
